New hardware wizard keeps popping up and claims to have found new hardware.
Found answer to problem on Hardware discussion - Go into the Registry using
regedit and delete the related keys. Well, the registry will not let me
delete the keys. There are four that I need to whack but it isn't happening.
Now what.
 
Permissions?

Open Registry Editor.
Click Help | Help Topics | Index tab |

To grant Full Control of a registry key
Open Registry Editor.
Click the key to which you want to grant Full Control.
On the Edit menu, click Permissions.
Under Group or user names, click the user to whom you want to grant Full
Control of your registry key.
Under Permissions for name, where name represents the name of the user to
whom you are granting Full Control of the key, select the Allow check box
for Full Control.
